First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Undertone.
Sales Coordinator
I found out about Undertone through my university's job site and applied online for a sales/marketing role. I also had a friend working there, so I reached out to her to get my resume noticed. Another old contact from an internship was also reached out to. An HR person emailed me and we set up a phone interview. It was about half an hour long and pretty good. She asked about my studies, why I chose my major/minor, my internship experiences, and what I knew about Undertone. After that, she said I'd get an in-person interview the next week. We coordinated this via email, and I went in the week after the phone call. I met with three people: one from sales and two from marketing, for both Coordinator roles. The receptionist had my schedule and job descriptions ready, which was a nice touch. I felt like I understood the roles well and connected with everyone. They all talked about the great office, work-life balance, and how good the company is. After I got back, the HR rep asked for my feedback on the meetings. I told her it went well and I was excited about next steps. The next stage was revealed the next day: a two-part presentation that simulated sales and marketing tasks. I had the weekend to prepare and presented on Tuesday to two hiring managers and the HR woman. I think I did well and made a good impression. After a debrief with HR about next steps, she said I'd hear back in a few days. I got an email to submit my references that same day. They were contacted the next day, and I got an offer the day after that. I accepted and started after the weekend. The whole process was thorough and took about 3-4 weeks. HR was transparent and checked in on how I felt about it. I was a bit nervous it wouldn't lead to an offer, but I was happy to get one soon after my presentation.

- What led you to choose your major and minor?
Sales
I applied for the job online and then got a call from HR to set up a phone interview. The phone interview went well, and they invited me in two days later to meet the hiring manager. That meeting also went well, and he said I was a great fit. He mentioned they'd be in touch soon. I sent a thank you email to HR, and she replied that the hiring manager was impressed and they'd contact me in a few days. That was the last I heard from them. I followed up ten times over three months, but never got a response. The interview itself was fair, but the lack of closing was unprofessional. It's not that hard to send an email saying they decided to go with someone else. It showed their inexperienced culture.

- How do you envision your initial week if hired?
Project Manager
I got an InMail from a recruiter about a role. After we spoke, they mentioned another position that might be a better fit. Then, I had a 45-minute call with my potential boss. After that, I went on-site for 2 hours and interviewed with three VPs. The final stage was a presentation where I had to tackle a case study reflecting day-one responsibilities. Everyone was great. I spent a lot of time on that presentation. The recruiter emailed a day or two later saying they really liked my presentation and were super interested. But, they ended up choosing someone else. It would have stung less if I hadn't gotten that 'very' interested email, and if I wasn't trying to get employed in the first place. That's life. No tricky questions, just very straightforward.
- Can you tell me about something on your resume from eight years ago?
Analyst
I got contacted by a recruiter from Undertone less than a week after applying. The whole interview process lasted a bit over a month. It included a phone screen, a phone interview, three in-person interviews, and a presentation. The recruiter was great, always updating me on what's next after each interview and quick to answer questions. The team was also cool about my busy schedule, even though it made the process take longer. The presentation was tough but relevant to the job. I could call the recruiter if I had company-specific questions for the presentation, and they usually replied within a few hours.
- There were no tricky questions, mostly behavioral and technical ones.
